Due to inclement weather, the Lighting of the B ceremony, which signals the beginning of Homecoming at Bradley University, will be held this evening in the Michel Student Center ballroom rather than on the quad. The ceremony will begin at 9.

The ceremonial lighting of the Bradley “B” is a homecoming tradition that was begun in 1928. The “B” was placed on what was then called the Bradley Polytechnic Institute Tower – or as we know it, the top of Bradley Hall. It was used as a beacon to welcome all to campus for the homecoming festivities.
